Therefore, we have determined that lipid anabolism is strongly reprogrammed in IDH1 mutant AML cells with a crucial dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism and fluxes, both being mediated by 2-HG (2-Hydroxyglutarate) production.
We then evaluated the follow-up specimens with a known IDH1 mutation status including acute myeloid leukemia (n=23), MDS (n=2), MDS/MPN (n=2), and MPN (n=2).
All subjects with TP53 mutations (n = 21 out of 21 patients) and IDH1 and IDH2 (n = 15 out of 15 patients) mutations eventually developed AML in our study.
Recent studies indicate that in malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), measurements of 2HG in serum provide useful diagnostic and prognostic information and improve patient selection and monitoring of IDH-targeted treatments.
These results advocate in favor of clinical trials of PARP inhibitors either or not in combination with daunorubicin in <i>IDH1/2</i><sup>MUT</sup> AML.<i></i>.
The mutated form of the IDH1 enzyme produces a metabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which is thought to play a role in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), gliomas and other cancers.
Mutations in IDH1 or IDH2 are detected in approximately 20% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and induce amino acid changes in conserved residues resulting in neomorphic enzymatic function and production of an oncometabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2-HG).
Patients with additional mutation at first sample showed a higher probability of developing cytopenia under HU therapy and a higher risk of AML (HR 12.2, 95% CI 2.6-57.1, p = 0.001) with mutations in ASXL1 (p < 0.0001), TP53 (p = 0.01), SRSF2 (p < 0.0001), IDH1/2 (p < 0.0001), and RUNX1 (p < 0.0001) being associated with a higher probability of AML.
This review surveys the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors to treat patients with mutant FLT3 AML, mutant KIT AML, as well as IDH inhibitors and explores some questions regarding their integration into the treatment armamentarium for AML.
These findings supported initiation of the ongoing clinical trials of AG-221 in patients with <i>IDH2</i> mutation-positive advanced hematologic malignancies.<b>Significance:</b> Mutations in <i>IDH1/2</i> are identified in approximately 20% of patients with AML and contribute to leukemia via a block in hematopoietic cell differentiation.
The measurement of D-2-hydroxyglutarate in peripheral blood may be used as a biomarker for screening and follow-up of patients with IDH-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.
Expanded genome-wide digital restriction enzyme analysis of methylation data revealed a CGI methylator phenotype independent of IDH1/2 mutations we term AML-CGI methylator phenotype (CIMP) (A-CIMP<sup>+</sup>).
Mutation Analysis of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1/2) and DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) in Thai Patients with Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Due to the fact that mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 are acquired early during AML clonal evolution as well as because these mutations tend to remain stable during AML progression, the pharmaceutical industry has prompted the development of specific mutant IDH enzyme inhibitors.
We recently reported the use of zebrafish to evaluate the hematopoietic function of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and the effects of expressing human IDH1-R132H that is frequently identified in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in myelopoiesis, with a view to develop zebrafish as a model of AML.
